New imac slot load won't work, or i'm a newb.

Either mine is broken or I have no clue how to use a slot load disc drive on a Mac. The latter is most likely but when I stick a disc in the slot nothing happens. I mean I almost manually inserted the disc all the way before I figured maybe I should look up why it won't take it. Any advice. This has been a bad first Mac day.

thank you, yeah you really have to push it all the way in for it to take it. Just had to trust it was going to work. Every other slot load I have ever used takes the disc about half way. Problem solved.
